Ive been seeing all these amazing prizes flying in for #monsterraffle 5, and ive been toying with what to donate myself.... Should i give this? Should I give that?? Then the main man asked me in a DM the other day what I was planni g on donating, and all my mind could come up with os the 1oz, silver coin ive always goven as a proze for these monster raffles:

The stackable Silver 1oz Owl. In Ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Athena kept an owl on her shoulder. The owl was used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, shrewdness and understanding. This very attractive one ounce silver coin from Niue depicts the owl with mirror finish eyes on a tree branch and an olive branch of peace in the background.

Weighing one troy ounce, .999 fine silver and 39 mm in diameter, these coins are also able to stack and interlock with each other.

It may not be the best looking of coins or the most desirable, but I dont know anyone else who has these 2017 coins.... Plus my logic goes to consistency, giving these away all the time, is that I hope I can get one of these to all the OG members.

The history of this design plays a large part in the history of silver too. The Athenian owl first appeared on coins dating back to 500+yrs BC in ancient Greece. These may have been the first circulating silver coins minted on mass. So it definitely hold a great significance in coin collecting circles and silver collecting circles.
